Campaign Reports Question

Hello everyone. I'm new to SEOMOZ and sort of a beginner with this SEO stuff but this does seem like the place to be to learn things. I spent quite a bit of time reading the blogs and found them very helpful - including everyone's comments.

I'm not sure what to make of a couple of my campaign reports. I'm going through my campaign reports and have a few questions. I guess the easy way is to break this down.

http://www.njsigncrafters.com and http://www.njsigncrafters.com/index.php

Am I losing a bit of google points because of this and do I fix it by using a redirect?

Question 2:

When I look at my on-page analysis I'm getting grades of A-F. I'm figuring maybe I should have some recommendations about what to do but SEOMOZ gives me a grade and then leaves it at that. Besides reviewing my on-page factors am I missing something simple that I"m supposed to click on to see recommendations?

I suppose once I get used to the way things work I'll get this SEOMOZ site figured out.

Question #1: Yes. You have the same content on each page. Change up the content on the index page or edirect or block with a robot....

Question #2: The grades are there as empty buckets......you have to look at how many pages fall into each grade. Give the system a few days to come up with the resulkts.

You should also look at your sites link analysis against competitors. You can go into depth by clicking on them to show you the detail behind the totals.

The campaign stuff is good for the basics and would be perfect to give to clients.......but start to use some of the research tools that provide you more detailed information and allow you to go deeper. (It is one of the other folder options) There is a lot of value if you spend the time.

Welcome to SEOmoz! Glad to have you on board. There's is a lot to learn, and it's a very much go-at-your-own-pace kind of learning (with a lot of Google searches thrown in with a few years of trial and error) but that's why we're here.

1. Yes, you have a duplicate content issue with your homepage. Probably the easiest way to fix this is with a canonical tag (or secondly, a 301 redirect)
